I don?t know about you, but being the beauty lover that I am, whenever I travel to a foreign country I?m always on the hunt for makeup products I can?t find back home. No fridge magnets for me; lipsticks are my favorite souvenirs!
Follow me today on a little virtual shopping spree of Bologna, so that the next time you visit Italy, you?ll be perfectly capable of finding your way through the Italian beauty jungle on your own. Let?s go to the old town then, shall we" Since there’s a lot of variety in terms of stores, it’s definitely the best place for shopping, and we can do a bit of sightseeing too? I?ll see you by the Neptune Fountain, Bologna?s most popular meeting point.

If you?re interested in high-end cosmetics, we should go to a profumeria (beauty store). Most profumerie belong to big retail chains, like Sephora, Limoni or Douglas, but quite a few independent stores still survive. Some of these are called bioprofumerie and only carry natural and organic products. Would you like to check one out"
